I'm goin' where them chilly winds don't blow. Gonna find a true love. That is where I want to go.
Out where them chilly winds don't blow.

Sing your song, sing it soft and low. Sing it for your baby and then I'll have to go. Out where them chilly winds don't blow

Wish I was a headlight on a west bound train. I'd shine my light on cool Colorado range
Out where them chilly winds don't blow.

If you're feelin' lonely, if you're feelin' low. Remember that I loved you more than you will ever know.
Goin' where them chilly winds don't blow.

[Chorus]

I'm leavin' in the springtime, won't be back till fall. If I can forget you, I might not come back at all.
Out where them chilly winds don't blow.

Heh! heh! Love it, hamburger, just don't head to the southern U.S. cause you will be doing a different kind of twist. Tornados have killed at leas 20 people, and a school bus carrying a sports group of kids who were heading for Florida plunged off a ramp. Very, very disconcerting, buddy.

Just one reminder in this particular picture:

Hey, cowboy. Don't head for them Georgia pines, 'cause you'll shiver when the cold wind blows. That song has been a bit of a cryptic thing as well, folks. I need to check on the background once again.

Well.... it's the second of March. Remember Camelot?

It's true! It's true! The crown has made it clear.
The climate must be perfect all the year.

A law was made a distant moon ago here:
July and August cannot be too hot.
And there's a legal limit to the snow here
In Camelot.
The winter is forbidden till December
And exits March the second on the dot.

By order, summer lingers through September
In Camelot.
Camelot! Camelot!
I know it sounds a bit bizarre,
But in Camelot, Camelot
That's how conditions are.
The rain may never fall till after sundown.
By eight, the morning fog must disappear.
In short, there's simply not
A more congenial spot
For happily-ever-aftering than here
In Camelot.

Camelot! Camelot!
I know it gives a person pause,
But in Camelot, Camelot
Those are the legal laws.
The snow may never slush upon the hillside.
By nine p.m. the moonlight must appear.
In short, there's simply not
A more congenial spot
For happily-ever-aftering than here
In Camelot.

Jennifer Jones
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


Born March 2, 1919 (age 88)
Tulsa, Oklahoma,
United States
Academy Awards

Best Actress
1943 The Song of Bernadette

Jennifer Jones (born March 2, 1919) is an Academy Award- and Golden Globe-winning American actress.





Early life

Jones was born Phylis Lee Isley in Tulsa, Oklahoma to Phil Isley and Flora Mae Suber, who toured the Midwest in a traveling tent show they owned and operated. Jones attended Monte Cassino Junior College in Tulsa and Northwestern University, where she was a member of Kappa Alpha Theta sorority, before transferring to the Academy of Dramatic Arts in New York in 1938. There she met and fell in love with fellow acting student Robert Walker and they were married on January 2, 1939 when Jones was 19 years old.

They returned to Tulsa for a 13-week radio program arranged by her father, and then headed for Hollywood. Isley landed two small roles, first in a John Wayne western titled New Frontier (1939) and later a serial, Dick Tracy's G-Men (1939). In these two films, she was billed as "Phyllis Isley" (Phyllis now spelled with two L's). However, when she and Walker failed a screen test for Paramount Pictures, they decided to return to New York City.


Career

While Walker found steady work in radio programs, Isley worked part-time work modeling hats for the Powers Agency and looked for possible acting jobs. When she learned of auditions for the lead role of Claudia in Rose Franken's hit play of the same name, she presented herself to David O. Selznick's New York office, but fled in tears after what she thought was a bad reading. Selznick, however, overheard her audition and was impressed enough to have his secretary call her back. Following an interview, she was signed to a seven-year contract.

She was carefully groomed for stardom and given her new name -- Jennifer Jones. Director King Vidor was impressed by her screen test as Bernadette Soubirous for The Song of Bernadette and she won the coveted role over hundreds of applicants. In 1944, on her 25th birthday, she won the Academy Award for Best Actress for her performance as St. Bernadette. That year, Jones' new best friend, Ingrid Bergman was also a Best Actress nominee for her work in For Whom the Bell Tolls. After Jones won the award, she tried to apologize to her friend by saying, ""I apologize, Ingrid. You should have won." Bergman classily replied "No, Jennifer, your Bernadette was better than my Maria." Furthermore, Jennifer Jones presented the Best Actress Oscar the following year to Bergman for Gaslight. [1]

By this time she had divorced Robert Walker and had become Selznick's mistress (and later his wife). Selznick was a suffocating and dominating lover who became obsessed with grooming and molding Jones' career. It is suggested that Selznick's domination lead to her many suicide attempts and an increasing nervousness. During her tenure with Selznick, Jones was cast in multiple inappropriate roles in his effort to get her a second Oscar.

Over the next two decades, Jones appeared in a wide range of roles selected by Selznick. Her dark beauty and sensitive nature appealed to audiences and she projected a variable range. Her initial saintly image, as shown in her first starring role, was a stark contrast three years later when she was cast as a provocative half-breed in Selznick's controversial Duel in the Sun (1946). Other notable films included Since You Went Away (1944), Love Letters (1945), Cluny Brown (1946), Portrait of Jennie (1948), Madame Bovary (1949), We Were Strangers (1949), Carrie (1952), Ruby Gentry (1952), Indescretion of an American Wife (1953), Beat the Devil (1954), Love Is a Many-Splendored Thing (1955), Good Morning Miss Dove (1955), The Man in the Gray Flannel Suit (1956), and A Farewell to Arms (1957). Her leading men during this period included Charles Boyer, Gregory Peck, James Mason, John Garfield, Charlton Heston, Laurence Olivier, Montgomery Clift, Humphrey Bogart, William Holden, Robert Stack and Rock Hudson.


Private life

Jones's first marriage to Robert Walker produced two sons, Robert Walker Jr. born April 15, 1940, and Michael Walker, born March 13, 1941. Both of them became actors. The couple divorced in 1944.

Jones married Selznick on July 13, 1949, staying with him until his death on June 22, 1965. Following Selznick's death, she semi-retired from acting and appeared in only a few films. Her last appearance was a strong supporting role in The Towering Inferno (1974). Her only child with Selznick, Mary Jennifer Selznick, born August 12, 1954, committed suicide in 1976. This led to Jones' interest in mental health issues.

She married multi-millionaire industrialist, art collector and philanthropist Norton Simon on May 29, 1971, and remained married to him until his death on June 1, 1993. She is currently on the board of directors of the Norton Simon Museum in Pasadena.

Jennifer Jones is a breast cancer survivor. The late actress Susan Strasberg, who died of breast cancer, was married to a fellow actor surnamed Jones, and named her only child, a daughter, Jennifer Jane Jones, after the esteemed older actress.

Biography

Jon Bon Jovi was born in Perth Amboy, New Jersey, and was raised in nearby Sayreville. His mother, Carol Sharkey (of Irish/Italian descent), was a U.S. Marine as well as a Playboy Bunny and his father, John Bongiovi (born Gian Buongiovanni), also a Marine, was a barber of Italian ancestry.

John Bongiovi attended Sayreville War Memorial High School in Parlin, New Jersey, and later adopted the stage name Jon Bon Jovi at the behest of the record company that he signed with. He also plays acoustic guitar, harmonica, and rhythm guitar but makes the most of his part as lead singer. His early career was assisted by his cousin, Tony Bongiovi, a notable record producer who owned the Power Station recording studio. Jon worked as a janitor at the studio, and in periods of studio downtime recorded his own material, helped by his uncle. An album of these early recordings John Bongiovi: The Power Station Years was released in 1999.

In the late 1980s he was on tour in Tokyo, Japan. The tour was a sellout and was a successful launch of his debut album called Bon Jovi. While on this tour, there was a scandal that he was caught on a date by the local papparazzi with Jade Ward.

At one point Jon dated actress Diane Lane in the mid-80's, most likely after she filmed Streets of Fire.

Bon Jovi married Dorothea Hurley, his high school sweetheart, on April 29, 1989 in the Graceland Chapel in Las Vegas, Nevada. He fathered one daughter, Stephanie Rose Bongiovi (born on May 31, 1993), and three sons, Jesse James Louis Bongiovi (born on February 19, 1995) Jacob Hurley Bongiovi (born on May 7, 2002) and Romeo Jon Bongiovi (born on March 29, 2004).

Bon Jovi made a cameo appearance in The Sims Superstar.

Jon Bon Jovi can also be seen in Young Guns II with a brief uncredited role as a cowboy in a pit.

Bon Jovi's first appearance in any musical production was in the 1980 Star Wars album, Christmas in the Stars. He was the lead in singing the song, "R2-D2 We Wish You A Merry Christmas." (Credited as John Bongiovi).

Jon Bon Jovi has recorded two solo albums: Blaze of Glory (1990) and Destination Anywhere (1997) and sold over 100 million albums with the band Bon Jovi.

Jon Bon Jovi has been named the first Founding Ambassador of the Habitat for Humanity Ambassador program as part of the international-nonprofit organization's new advocacy outreach initiative. Bon Jovi has been raising awareness with Habitat for Humanity since 2005 when he provided the funds to build six homes in Philadelphia and built the homes alongside the homeowner families, as well as with members of his Philadelphia Soul Arena Football Team. The construction site also served as the video shoot location for his band's single, "Who Says You Can't Go Home." In 2006, Bon Jovi made a $1 million donation to build 28 Habitat homes in Louisiana in partnership with low-income families on the hurricane-stricken coast. Earlier this month, Bon Jovi announced a project that will rehabilitate a block of 15 homes in north Philadelphia.

A man died and went to heaven. As he stood in front of St.
Peter at the Pearly Gates, he saw a huge wall of clocks
behind him. He asked, "What are all those clocks?"

St. Peter answered, "Those are Lie-Clocks. Everyone on Earth
has a Lie-Clock. Every time you lie the hands on your clock
will move."

"Oh," said the man, "whose clock is that?"

"That's Mother Teresa's. The hands have never moved,
indicating that she never told a lie."

"Incredible," said the man. "And whose clock is that one?"

St. Peter responded, "That's Abraham Lincoln's clock. The
hands have moved twice, telling us that Abe told only two
lies in his entire
life."

"Where's Tony Blair's clock?" asked the man.

"Tony Blair's clock is in Jesus' office. He's using it as a
ceiling fan," St. Peter replied.

"Oh", replied the man, "and where is George Bush's clock?".

"That", said St. Peter, "is being used as a turbine to power
this whole place".

Hey, hawkman. Love your clock joke, Boston. Hmmm, folks, wonder if George Washington had one that never moved. After all, he did admit to cutting down a cherry tree.

Piffka, Welcome back, and your Camelot song is great, gal. Didn't they refer to the Kennedy administration as Camelot?

As usual, we shall await our Raggedy to do the face thing, and she will love the fact that Jennifer is highlighted. Razz

From one of her movies, a lovely song as done by Nat:


A portrait of Jennie
More precious to me
Than a masterpiece
How ever famous it be

The portrait of Jennie
Is etched on my heart
Where her features
Have been sketched
From the start

All the colour
And beauty of life
And the glow of her
Spirit devine
All cast in heavens
All design

With a portrait of Jennie
I never will part
For there isn't
Any portrait of Jennie
Except in my hear-eart

For there isn't
Any portrait of Jennie

Glad you made it, Raggedy, and we love your laughing face on either side of Jennifer, lust in the dust and all. Amazing that woman is still with us.

There's Dr. Seuss, Desi, dear Karen, and Bon Jovi? What perfect timing, folks, because I was intrigued with this song by Bon Jovi:

This is for our Noddy, because we have discussed Thomas Wolfe's "You Can't Go Home Again."

So, dear Noddy, Bon Jovi feels differently, and you're on the mend as well.

I spent 20 years trying to get out of this place
I was looking for something I couldn't replace
I was running away from the only thing I've ever known
Like a blind dog without a bone
I was a gypsy lost in the twilight zone
I hijacked a rainbow and crashed into a pot of gold
I been there, done that and I ain't lookin' back on the seeds I've sown,
Saving dimes, spending too much time on the telephone
Who says you can't go home

[Chorus]
Who says you can't go home
There's only one place they call me one of their own
Just a hometown boy, born a rolling stone, who says you can't go home
Who says you can't go back, been all around the world and as a matter of fact
There's only one place left I want to go, who says you can't go home
It's alright, it's alright, it's alright, it's alright, its alright

I went as far as I could, I tried to find a new face
There isn't one of these lines that I would erase
I lived a million miles of memories on that road
With every step I take I know that I'm not alone
You take the home from the boy, but not the boy from his home
These are my streets, the only life I've ever known,
who says you can't go home

[Chorus]

I been there, done thatand I ain't looking that
It's been a long long road
Feels like I never left, that's how the story goes

It doesn't matter where you are, it doesn't matter where you go
If it's a million miles aways or just a mile up the road
Take it in, take it with you when you go,
who says you can't go home

[Chorus]

It's alright, it's alright, it's alright, it's alright, its alright
Who says you can't go home [x2]

I loved you in the morning, our kisses deep and warm,

your eyes are soft with sorrow,
Hey, that's no way to say goodbye.

I'm not looking for another as I wander in my time,
walk me to the corner, our steps will always rhyme
you know my love goes with you as your love stays with me,
it's just the way it changes, like the shoreline and the sea,
but let's not talk of love or chains and things we can't untie,
your eyes are soft with sorrow,
Hey, that's no way to say goodbye.

I Can't Give You Anything But Love Lyrics
by Diana Krall

I can't give you anything but love, baby
That's the only thing I've got plenty of, baby
Dream a while, scheme a while you're sure to find
Happiness and I guess all those things you've always pined for

Gee it's nice to see you looking swell, baby
Diamond bracelets Woolworth's doesn't sell, baby
Till the lucky day you know darn well,well baby
I can't give you anything but love

Beat Me Daddy, Eight To The Bar
The Andrews Sisters w/ Vic Schoen & His Orchestra

[Written by Don Raye, Hughie Prince and Eleanore Sheehy]

In a little honky-tonky village in Texas
There's a guy who plays the best piano by far
He can play piano any way that you like it
But the way he likes to play is eight to the bar
When he plays, it's a ball
He's the Daddy of them all

The people gather around when he gets on the stand
Then when he plays, he gets a hand
The rhythm he beats puts the cats in a trance
Nobody there bothers to dance
But when he plays with the bass and guitar
They holler out, beat me Daddy, eight to the bar

A-plink, a-plank, a-plink-plank, plink-plank
A-plunkin' on the keys
A-riff, a-raff, a-riff-raff, riff-raff
A-riffin' out with ease
And when he plays with the bass and guitar
They holler out, beat me Daddy, eight to the bar

He plays a boogie, he plays eight to the bar
A boogie-woogie, that is the way he likes to play on his piano
And we all know
That when he plays he puts them all in a trance
The cats all holler, hooray
You'll hear them say, beat me Daddy, eight to the bar

----- Instrumental Interlude -----

In a little honky-tonky village in Texas
There's a guy who plays the best piano by far
When he plays with the bass and guitar
They holler, beat me up Daddy
Beat me Daddy, eight to the bar

The people gather around when he gets up on the stand
Then when he plays, he gets a hand
The rhythm that he plays puts the cats in a trance
Nobody there ever bothers to dance
But when he plays with the bass and guitar
They holler out, beat me Daddy, eight to the bar

A-plink-plink, a-plank-plank
A-plink-plank, plink-plank

Well, edgar. I recall my oldest sister beating that out on an upright piano, but I swear I thought that was Pig Foot Pete.

Well, I found this, folks, but I don't think it's the one:

PIG FOOT PETE
Words - Don Raye - Gene De Paul


Way out in Kansas City on one, two street, they
say that there's a guy they call Pig Foot Pete. He plays pi-
ano, by ear, and he'll
play all night for pig's feet and beer. He's
"murder" on the eighty eight, he's the
guy who brought the Boogie Woogie up to date. He's got a
cannon, in his left hand, and a ri-
fle, in his right, he's just a double barrelled
"gate", and he shoots the
eight beats to you at a fright'nin' rate.
He's just a solid "wiz", I'll tell you who he is, he's
Pig Foot Pete of Boogie Woogie's elite. His
hands are just as big as Virginia hams, and
when they go to work they're like battrin' rams, and when he
plays on, that box, the joint
rocks! Until you're beat to your sox. Wherever
boogie, is part of the plan, you'll find
Pig Foot Pete, the Boogie Woogie man.

Rehearsals for Retirement
By Phil Ochs


A G D A
The days grow longer for smaller prizes
A G D A
I feel a stranger to all surprises
Bm E A
You can have them I don't want them
C#m D
I wear a different kind of garment
F#m E
In my rehearsals for retirement

The lights are cold again they dance below me
I turn to old friends they do not know me
All but the beggar he remembers
I put a penny down for payment
In my rehearsals for retirement

D A - A7
Had I known the end would end in laughter
F#m E
I'd tell my daughter it doesn't matter

The stage is tainted with empty voices
The ladies painted they have no choices
I take my colors from the stable
They lie in tatters by the tournament
In my rehearsals for retirement

Where are the armies who killed a country
And turned a strong man into a baby
Now comes the rabble they are welcome
I wait in anger and amusement
In my rehearsals for retirement

Had I known the end would end in laughter
Still I'd tell my daughter that it doesn't matter

Farewell my own true love, farewell my fancy
Are you still owin' me love, though you failed me
But one last gesture for her pleasure
I'll paint your memory on the monument
In my rehearsals for retirement

Mornin', edgar. Odd that you should play that Ochs song, Texas, as I rehearsed all night trying to find the REAL lyrics to Pig Foot Pete. Had a wee bit of help from my sister, but here they are.

In a little honky tonky village in Texas,
There's a man who plays the best piano by ear,
He can play piano any way that you like it,
And he'll play all night for just some pig's feet and beer

He's murder on the solid eight,
He's the man who bought the boogie woogie up to date.

He's got a cannon in his right hand,
And a rifle in his right,
He's just a solid brown killer,
And he'll shoot the eight beat to ya
At a lightning rate.

He's just a solid whiz,
I'll tell you who he is,
He's Pig Foot Pete
The boogie woogie to meet.

His hands are just as big as two Virginia hams
And when they go to work they're just like batterin' rams
And when he plays on that box,
The joint rocks,
I mean you stick to your socks

And wherever you find a boogie woogie band,
There you'll find Pig foot Pete the boogie woogie man.

They call him Pig Foot,
The boogie woogie man.

I want to dedicate this song for everyone who is MISUNDERSTOOD.

John Denver himself wrote this song (with the help of Mike Taylor). When the FCC wanted to crack down on music and it's connection to drug use, John Denver himself testified before Congress in 1985 that his song had nothing to do with drugs. It was common knowledge that John Denver did not participate in drug use.

Rocky Mountain High
John Denver
Words by John Denver; Music by John Denver and Mike Taylor

"He was born in the summer of his 27th year
Comin' home to a place he'd never been before
He left yesterday behind him, you might say he was born again
You might say he found a key for every door

When he first came to the mountains his life was far away
On the road and hangin' by a song
But the string's already broken and he doesn't really care
It keeps changin' fast and it don't last for long

But the colorado rocky mountain high
I've seen it rainin' fire in the sky
The shadow from the starlight is softer than a lullabye
Rocky mountain high (high colorado) rocky mountain high (high colorado)

He climbed cathedral mountains, he saw silver clouds below
He saw everything as far as you can see
And they say he got crazy once, and he tried to touch the sun
And he lost a friend but kept his memory

Now he walks in quiet solitude the forests and the streams
Seeking grace in every step he takes
His sight has turned inside himself to try and understand
The serenity of a clear blue mountain lake

And the colorado rocky mountain high
I've seen it rainin' fire in the sky
You can talk to god and listen to the casual reply
Rocky mountain high (high colorado) rocky mountain high (high colorado)

Now his life is full of wonder but his heart still knows some fear
Of a simple thing he cannot comprehend
Why they try to tear the mountains down to bring in a couple more
More people, more scars upon the land

And the colorado rocky mountain high
I've seen it rainin' fire in the sky
I know he'd be a poorer man if he never saw an eagle fly
Rocky mountain high

It's a colorado rocky mountain high
I've seen it rainin' fire in the sky
Friends around the campfire and everybody's high
Rocky mountain high (high colorado) rocky mountain high (high colorado)
Rocky mountain high (high colorado) rocky mountain high do de do"
